Animal Health Cohort
Kansas State University’s Master of Agribusiness is a flexible, online business-focused graduate degree for animal health and companion animal professionals. Not an MBA in agribusiness, and not an M.S. in Agricultural Economics, but a professional degree program training managers for one of the most rapidly changing industries today.
In addition to the traditional courses you would find in MBA program such as finance and management, the Master of Agribusiness tailors each course to the industry and offers a global animal health industry elective to further customize the curriculum for the student. This will enhance students' management and strategic skills to help them deal with the challenges of the rapidly changing environment within the animal health industry.
The two, one-week on-campus sessions of the program are held at K-State Olathe in August and October of each year.
